HOW MUCH LONGER.
Those who expected that the Ger-
man govt-rlilllellt would find some pre-
text for evading responsibility for the
ullwnrned sinking of the Sussex, with
Americans on board looked for a more
Ingenious evasion. The. explanation
given would receive scant
from any American jury.
The last German note. admitted that
respect
there was a ti host operating in the
pri‘clse locality where the Sussex was
attacked, and that it torpedoed a ship
there at almost the precise time when
the Sunni-x was blown up. The vic~
uni, too, was hit in the bow, just as
the Sussex was. with similar results.
And yet. we are asked to believe tha:
the ship torpedoed was not the Sus-
lsx, but another craft which the U-
hoat commander decided was a mine
layer, lawfully subject to attack with-
out warning. As proof of its conten-
tion. the German government submits
a sketch said to have been made by
the commander. showing a vessel dif-
faring in certain respects from the
Sussex
If any other ship was sunk in that
part of the English Channel at that
time. it's strange the world has never
Thardawwdaboutit.
It is possible that the U-boat com-
mander hi sincere. He may have im-
agined he was torpedoing a mine-layer
instead of a passenger ship. ' His
sketch may reproduce the image of a
distant ship seen dimly through a pen-
‘iscope. as it looked to his exltcd im-
agination. if so, there is another proof
of the impossibility of using submar-
ines accurately; according to law and
reason. and therefore another argu-
ment against their being employed at
all. .
But even if the commander believes
what he is alleged to have reported.
how can the German government take
his report seriously. and advance it in
a formal diplomatic note?
It is strange—but there are prece-
dents enough. It will be recalled that
last May the German foreign minister
solemnly assured the United Staten
that the Lusitania was an auxiliary
cruiser. The defense was afterwards
dropped. and the witness whose word
Germany had amepted so lightly is
now serving a penitentiary sentence
flor perjury.
